This morning the male peregrine was perched on a west facing ledge above the Clock Tower. Over the past few weeks, the male has been seen with regularity, but the unbounded female has been no where in sight. This time of year, they are normally seen in closer proximity to one another as the start of the breeding season gets ready to launch! Stay tuned!

The juvenile female peregrine was seen this morning moving around the local area and then landing on a horizontal tree branch. It must have just finished a meal as it spent a few minutes going through a bill cleaning exercise where it gently rubs its bill on both sides against the branch of the tree.

Had a nice morning visit to watch the Woburn Peregrines today. The juvenile was soaking up the sun. It then lifted off into flight mode to harass the male Common Raven on one of the nearby rooftops. It buzzed the Raven a number of times, and then strafed the nest while the female was sitting on eggs in the nest. Was able to reconfirm the MA state color-coded alphanumeric leg bands (32/BC) from photos.
